    Areas affected...Southern and Central Mississippi...Far Eastern
    Louisiana

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 62...

    Valid 260235Z - 260430Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 62 continues.

    SUMMARY...A threat for tornadoes and wind damage will likely
    continue over the next couple of hours across Tornado Watch 62.

    DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar imagery from Jackson,
    MS shows an organized line of strong thunderstorms located across
    southwest and central Mississippi. This line of storms is located in
    weak instability along an axis of maximized low-level moisture with
    surface dewpoints from 65 to 70 F. On the large-scale, an 80 to 100
    knot mid-level jet is passing through the Ark-La-Tex. Large-scale
    ascent associated with this feature is helping to support and
    intensify the line. In addition, the latest WSR-88D VWP from
    Jackson, MS has an impressive shear profile, with an increase to 65
    knots in the lowest 1 km, and a large looping hodograph. This will
    likely support a tornado threat with embedded rotating cells within
    the line. The greatest threat will likely be in central Mississippi,
    where the combination of shear and lift appears to be maximized.
    Wind damage will also be possible ahead of the more intense line
    segments.
